Adds Medicare coverage for medical nutrition therapy (MNT) for people with eating disorders, starting January 1, 2026. The law defines which providers may furnish and refer MNT, requires an eligible referral or order from a treating practitioner, and sets time limits for covered MNT visits (13 hours in the first year, 4 hours in subsequent years, as specified). The bill also records findings about the prevalence, mortality, care needs, and costs of eating disorders, noting special risks for older adults.
